The Masters

Outright Winner DraftKings

Yes, I know, he hasn’t won on Tour since 2022 and he has still, somehow, yet to win a major, but that win is coming sooner or later, and he fits all the most important trends this week at The Masters.

He is playing great coming in, holding the Tour’s longest active cut streak at 42 straight, ahead of Scottie Scheffler in 2ndwith 33.  In his last 11 starts, he has finished inside the Top-10, eight times, more often than he has not, just three times.

His data points are right in line with past winners.  I’ll start with Approach.  Xander has gained strokes on Approach in 28 of his last 29 starts.  He has also gained strokes in 13 straight starts around the green.  Off the tee has been sharp as well gaining strokes in 19 of his last 22 starts and perhaps most impressively is his consistent putting where he has gained strokes in 27 of his last 29 starts.  

Finally, Xander has finished inside the Top-20 in seven straight majors and has finished inside the Top-10 in three of the last five years here with a runner-up in 2019 and T3 in 2021.
